The World Health Organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention all agree that when these bacteria leave the farm they pose a risk to human health.
Weis can and should do better for our community. They should seek local producers of chicken for their store brand — there are lots of good local farmers who raise birds without antibiotics. With at least 2 million people getting sick annually from antibiotic resistant infections and 23,000 people dying from these illnesses, we all have a role to play ensuring we do not lose the single most important tool in modern medicine.
Please join me in urging Weis Markets to make a wise choice for our well being and our community. Please sign the petition.
